3rd write.............. not sure why I'm bothering, but.... let's see if this is any better...... I can still kill the 'tag' but I'm stupidly fond of it.

Willow Tree
3rd write

1
It was the spring of 1880
When I found your broken body
Under that willow by the miller's pond
Ready to move beyond
But I helped you on to the back of my mare
Bleeding and lonesome and fair
2
My fault never for asking
Any questions about your past, no
When you took me out under that willow
Moonlight kisses gave me chills, oh
Surrendered all my mind
Never once thought you would leave me there
Broken in lonesome despair

CH:
And I never knew all the trouble you were in
Your kisses sweeter than sin
When you made love to me
Underneath the willow tree
Underneath the willow tree

3
Oh people still come by to see me
Point their fingers and to blame
Asking didn't I know you robbed that train
But I never tell anyone
How we made love till we could barely breathe
Underneath that old willow tree

CH
And I never knew all the trouble you were in
Your kisses sweeter than sin
When you made love to me
Underneath the willow tree
Underneath the willow tree

BRIDGE
You saddled up before dawn
Not a word and you were gone
Posse thundering on its way
Did you cry like I did that day?
They took me in for questioning
But I never laid eyes on you again

You’re the man who got away

CH
And I never knew all the trouble you were in
Your kisses sweeter than sin
When you made love to me
Underneath the willow tree
Underneath the willow tree


TAG
Oh I'm tired and cold
and my soul has been sold,
been sold, but not by me

By the man who got away
The man who got away
